Latin Conference and Awards

"Billboard is the Bible of music. I think myself, and everyone in the industry, consult it every week because It’s important to be in contact, know what happens, who is releasing new material and who is being played in every world capital. I love it, because there, I see my friends, I read who goes out, who comes in. Our business is changing, and in Billboard, you find every thing out."

"Billboard es como la Biblia de la Musica. creo que yo y todos en la Industria la consultamos cada semana porque es importante estar en contacto, saber que pasa, quien sale nuevo, a quien estan tocando en cada capital del mundo. A mi me encanta, porque ahi veo a mis amigo o leo quien sale, quien entra, nuestro negocio es cambiante y ahi te enteras de todo."
-Enrique Iglesias, Artist

"The Billboard Latin Music conference is the place for in-depth and serious analysis of the issues that affect the Latin Music industry."
-John Echevarría, President, Universal Music Latino

The panel discussions were often standing-room-only affairs packed with an audience that unabashedly feted the stars on display, even though many of these observers were seasoned industry folk hailing from as far away as Mexico and Latin America.

"Billboard's Latin Music Conference provides a respected venue for companies to share new products, services, and strategies to an audience of industry decision makers. The 2004 event fostered a thoughtful debate on the importance of Mobile Services on the future of Latin Music, Artists, and Labels. And more importantly, it highlighted the fact that there is an enormous opportunity for Artists to reach the #1 wireless market in the US: Hispanic Consumers which over indexes on wireless voice, data and devices."
-Bryan T. Biniak, Senior Vice President / General Manager, AGmobile, subsidiary of American Greetings, and publisher of Univision Movil, Def Jam Mobile, and FUSE Mobile
